<cite>Street Fighter IV</cite>: Abel Joins The Fight

With the stealth of a ninja, Capcom just released a series of screens and a biography for the latest member of the Street Fighter IV roster: Abel.

According to the short bio Capcom published (along with the screens you can find below this post), Abel is "a mysterious young man" who fights "using a mixture of multiple martial arts."

This mystery-man motif seems to be a central theme of Abel's character, as the press materials go on to reveal a (very little) bit about the man's personality.

"Though he appears gruff and unfriendly on the surface, he is not the misanthrope he seems to be. His serious and polite nature is easy to misinterpret as indifference, but these still waters run deepindeed," it claims, though the pictures of Abel punching Guile tell a different story.
